. HYDROTHERMOMETEB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

- Patented Mar. 4, 1913.

Application filed May 21, 1912. Serial No. 698,783.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, FRANK J. SUCHANEK,-

outer air for any considerable length of'- time. ThlS 1s accomphshed bymounting a thermometer and a hydrometer in a transparent body portion into which the liquid is sucked by means of' a rubber bulb, the

spout of the hydro-thermometer being thrust I into the bottle or other receptacle containing the liquid, and the bulb released so that upon releasing the bulb the liquid will be sucked into the glass body portion of'the hydrothermometer.

This invention is illustrated in the companying drawings, wherein I Figure 1 is a sectional view through the device. Fig. 2 is a section along the line 2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section along the line 3 3 in Fig. 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawings it will be seen that this device comprises the glass body portion having the neck 10, the enlarged base portion 11, and the reduced spout 12. Rubber diaphragms 13 which are provided with the perforations 14, are mounted in the neck 10 and form a compartment in which the hydrometer 15 is mounted, the hydrometer'being of the usual construction. A thermometer 16 passes through .openings 17, formed in the diahragms and has its lower portion extendmg beneath the diaphragm 13. A rubber bulb 18 surrounds the neck 10 and is prevented from slipping off by the flanged end 19 of the neck, the flanged end of the neck fitting into the bulb as shown in Fig. 1.

When using this device, the rubber bulb is compressed so that the air is forced out of the device and the spout 12 is inserted into the bottle and the bulb then released so that a suction is caused through the body portion thus sucking the liquid in the-bottle up into the device to approximately the point indicated in Fig. 1. It will thus be seen that the thermometer which has its base portion immersed in the liquid, will register the temperature and the hydrometer will float in the liquid and indicate the density.

After the temperature and density of the liquid have been ascertained, the bulb 18 is compressed and this forces the liquid backinto the bottle, after which the device may be removed and the stopper of the bottle re placed. It will thus be seen that the only times when the contents of the bottlewill be exposed to the air will be during the remo *al and replacing of the cork, which is for mparatively short lengths of time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A device of the character described, comprising a transparent body portion, per.- forated diaphragms mounted in said body portion, 'a hydrometer mounted in said body portion. between said diaphragms, a

thermometer passing through said diaphragms, and means for sucking liquid into said body portion.

2. A device of the character described,
